One of reasons that the whole attmepted rank pulling thing people do about being “protest elders” or “hardcore longtime activists” isn’t something you have to necessarily respect is because at a certain point its clear this shit is just your hobby, like you just like going to protests.

Bit more niche but also you don't need to be sworn in by the speaker *at all* after an election. You do if you are elected mid-session (by house rules) but immediately after the election you are sworn by the speaker elect by convention, not by requirement

If you open-source your code, someone can steal it. If you let people use your software, AI can decompile it. There is only one solution that can truly defeat piracy: not releasing any software at all.

one thing that i do not understand is the fact that the "alexa teaches children that women may be treated like machines" and "it is a sign of psychosis to treat a machine whose interface is social cognition with any respect" are the same group of scholars. sometimes even precisely the same scholars.

The one saving grace about Trump’s appeal is that none of his potential heirs have it. This often seems to be somewhat lost on the libs who don’t want to acknowledge that he has a unique appeal outside of being hateful, but none of the rest have the charisma.

Cloudflare offers both its own bots and its own services for those making scraping bots. It also only offers five custom rules to block bots, anything more would require paying them. There's free options if you're aware of them...And if you have the tech skills to utilize them.

Ugh. Never, ever let your movement get sucked into mass orgies as a major form of socialization, unless your movement is *specifically* about group sex. And your industry? Never. Ever. It blurs the lines of everything and rewards manipulators and abusers and makes everyone a bit worse than before.

LLMs use Python to edit files because it reminds them of their childhood, when they were trained and fine-tuned using PyTorch. It's nostalgia is all it is.

LLMs have real and meaningful weaknesses and dangers associated with their use, which is part of why it's so galling that the loudest anti-LLM voices have less than zero interest in understanding what LLMs are good at and what they are bad at so they can make their case coherently.
